I KNOW! It’s uncanny – literally everything I did with B I’m not doing with these guys and… well, the results are fairly damning.
Yes, I’ll discuss the attractiveness ladder next. xx

I’m sure it’s occured to you, but your behavior when following the rules is EXACTLY opposite of your behavior with B.

Secondly, enough with the “too attractive for me” nonsense, since I know what you look like. Though, for clarity’s sake, maybe you could explain the attractiveness ladder to the crowd playing along at home.

Good luck! Can’t wait to hear how it goes. In terms of paying, I’m not going to lie – it is VERY awkward. I’ve been making a sort of delayed and half-hearted gesture towards my bag coupled with an expectant look towards the guy and that seems to be working pretty well.
In terms of the good-looking men… I have no idea how that’s happening. Online dating has thrown up a lot more attractive possibilities than I thought it would. Also, for me men have always been like buses – you stand around for ages waiting for one to arrive and then three come at once. (and then, in my case, all three are labeled “not in service.”

Where do you find all of these good-looking men? Maybe you should offer some tips on that… Though I will say I think it’s a lot easier to practice the Rules on the unattractive ones.
Anyhow, I have a date tonight with someone who may or may not be attractive, but I will strive to be a Rules girl either way and share the results so they can be included in the study. I’m already anxious about the whole not-even-going-to-offer-to-pay-for-half bit, but maybe I’ll just have to excuse myself to go to the bathroom or something???

so up for detailed analysis of the rules so far tomorrow. I think this is important sociological research rivaling the entire output of Allen Lane.
